Pryadarsini Govind

Priyadarsini Govind studied the art of Bharata Natyam in Madras, with two great masters.Swamimalai K. Rajaratnam, teaching him the Nritta – the technique of movement in all its complexity – transmitted to him rigor, strength, precision and the grace of a learned dance, deeply rooted in the tradition and culture of southern India.
  Srimati Kalanidhi Narayanan conveyed to her the subtlety of the Abhinaya, this extremely elaborate and sophisticated art of communication, by which the dancer expresses the emotion, the emotions of the poem she interprets; the symbolic gestures of the hands, the look and expressions of the face to translate situations and feelings.
  Priyadarsini Govind has been immersed in Bharata Ntaym since childhood. She is unanimously recognized in India today as one of the most brilliant and accomplished dancers of her generation.
  She nourishes her dance with a deep reflection on her intellectual, spiritual and artistic heritage, and the vitality of a young, modern Indian woman in touch with the realities of a changing society.
  Priyadarsini stands out today for its maturity, the brilliance and the serenity of its dance. Generous, passionate and delicate, she revisits the traditional repertoire of Bharata Natyam, introducing contemporary poems, with powerful energy and timeless sweetness.
